As a recovering audiophile, one thing is that no matter how good your set up becomes, you'll get used to it within a few months. Then it's time to go to the bank for the next big thing, which surprise suprise, you'll get used to as well. In the end you'll end up more time setting up your gear and reading and researching about the gears than actually listening to music. All i want to say is, enjoy your music. It's doesn't matter if it's coming out of a 10£ earbuds or a 100000£ speaker system.

The thing about high-end audio systems is the difference in sound separation, staging and clarity between a $500 and a $2,000 system is far greater then the difference between a $2,000 system and a $50,000 system. The difference is even more subtle as you go up in price. Many would not be able to tell the difference between a $50,000 system and the $350,000 system demonstrated in this video. Bottom line is if you CAN tell the difference and care, and have the resources, then a six-figure audio system is worth it.

Not so much with Wilson Audio, but some brands like Bowers and Wilkins loudspeakers have historically held a value greater than the vast majority of consumer products. For example the Nautilus 805 sold for $2000/pair in 1999, yet a used pair sells for roughly the same amount in 2024. Its not limited to just that one model either.

One big point of why people build High-end Audio systems is to be sonically transported to the time and space where a recording happened. When a good speaker system is set up in a properly acoustically treated space, live recording playback should create a realistic illusion of being in the space of the recording. You should audibly "feel" the size of the space and the arrangement or sound stage of musicians in front of you... you can feel the size of music, for example, in a huge church or the intimate space of a tavern etc. I believe that is the biggest point this video missed out on. That is not to say one can't enjoy an orchestral piece through your iPhone speaker... my point is that there are levels to this sh!te (haha) and recreating the visceral experience of what it actually sounds like to be at a concert hall is not easy or cheap. Also, one can spend a fraction of this $370K cost and build a system and a room that can get say 80% "close" to what this system does. In High-end audio getting closer to 100% of what a system like this can do is where things get very expensive like crazy compounding price increases for performance increments of 1% to 5% at a time.

@DQSpider 5 ай бұрын

I kind of hate videos like these. Yeah, the huge contrast makes for a flashy demonstration but it totally erases the fact that you can do way better than Sonos at 500 dollars. Sonos is convenient and most people don't want to spend any time connecting components. The small tradeoff in convenience at the 500 dollar point for powered monitors or a small receiver and good bookshelves is well worth it, if audio quality is your primary focus. There's no need to sell organs or refinance your house to get good sound. I've heard Wilson speakers and they are fantastic, but diminishing returns kick in well below their price point too.

"Should we charge $93,000? " Nah, round it up to $100,000..." "We don't make speakers for poor people. If you want high fidelity, you have to pay for it." - they've done this since the 80's.

I used to think that this was all marketing BS, but I once visited Chicago to check out the real hi-end, and I got to hear an $87K (in 2009) Vienna Acoustics pair (with some $12K transistor amp), and indeed, I heard for myself that the one thing that these ultra-expensive speakers do well is dynamics. Of course, it is really only symphonic music in which such dynamics is subtle but noticeable, and it requires that the listener must have a frame of reference of a live performance and a recording played through a more reasonable system that costs maybe $5K. That said, whether it is worth $99K to hear that subtle difference is a different issue, LOL.

Not sure why this piece didn't talk about the source, most audiophiles consider vinyl to be the best source for high-end audio. Interestingly enough, the dealer and I both chose the same test material, White Winds by Andreas Vollenweider, on vinyl of course. It is a flawless recording that demonstrates staging and separation better than any other recording I've ever heard. Currently I own a Linn audio system.

A great video! I think this was well made video that briefs the audio hobby. When you first experience the full tower floorstanding speakers and very well set up hifi system, it changes your world. If you like music, it’s very well worth looking into it. I wish “wired” to cover how each generation think of HiFi audio hobby.

Listening to this on my cheapo $20 computer speakers

At $370k + setup leading to a $1M + price, I think one can have a master musician play the grand piano for you in person at least a few times over😊

I listened to the Wilson WATT Puppies way back when... they put Yo Yo Ma right into my lap... one of the top 3 speaker experiences of my life... the other top contenders were top of the line Martin Logans, and Klipsch KHorns... all VERY different but VERY good... the Wilsons had tremendous imaging and depth, the ML had AMAZING detail, and the KHorns had amazing realism... mind you all were in different room with different gear and different music... I would have been happy with any of them...

With 370,000 I could invest in a high dividend ETF and travel every month to go listen to piano concerts in New York at the philharmonic, for the rest of my life.

unless you plan on living less than a year... that could be a nice plan. otherwise, think twice before you write some nonsense analogy

Yeah but the kinda person who has $370k to drop on this already does those things and much much more. To them it would be like an average person buying both Airpod Max & Bose 700 for $1k.

My Mother and my Aunt played in the Chicago Philharmonic Orchestra in 1945-46. My Grandparents were teachers in Colorado and owned a grocery store, theater. They taught both to play the Violin and the Piano starting at the ages of 5 and 6. They had school and house chores. 3 hours a day of music lessons. I think now days that is lost art on raising children. They rest in Sterling, Colorado. My Mom in Tucson Arizona and My Aunt in Golden, Colorado. 🦊

I don’t really think this is a good comparison. It would have been better to compare the Wilson speakers with speakers costing $5k - $15k.

It's always funny when people say things like "It's like you're really there" and then you go to a show and all the speakers used live are just midrange ordinary speakers.

I have listened to these in person they are just magnificent, it literally sounds like you are at a concert but yea 370k is a bit steep

The number of people able to discern those frequencies is rather small. Many more will actually convince themselves of their own hearing prowess (the rustling of bills must be soothing though).
